A thousand mile journey does not only start with one step, as the Chinese so
wisely say, but, most importantly and using the same reasoning, is in fact made up by millions of such small steps from beginning to end, patient and tirelessly walked.

So we’ll say for now, and for argument's sake, that we’re curious about those stains.

The only consensual thing about them, officially and
unofficially, is that they are… stains.

Stains that were found after a dog specialized in finding
minuscule traces of blood signaled the location. No dog, no stains.

Let’s now see what the FSS has to say about these stains in PJ FILES FSS's Final Report (FFR)(1).

As it’s quite a tiresome and complex reading, we’ve decided
to break it down into three major parts: "DNA Results", "Probably Originating From"
and "FSS’ Final Opinion".

Today we’ll focus only on the first, what FFR states to have
been the DNA Results obtained from those stains.

Stains on FLOOR:

# 1 -incomplete

# 2 -mixed

# 3 - weak and incomplete (before LCN),mixed, low-level (after LCN)

Stains on EAST wall:

# 4 -incomplete

# 5- mixed

# 6 -too meagreto permit a meaningful comparison

# 13 - unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained,
possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

Stains on NORTH wall:

# 7 - mixed

# 8-too meagreto permit a meaningful comparison

# 9- incomplete

# 10-mixed

# 11- unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained,
possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

Only 13% of the stains, or 2 out of 15, returned fruitless
results in FSS’ quest in finding DNA in them.

It means that according to FSS, DNA was found in 73% of the stains. Or in 87% of them if one is to consider that “vestiges” of DNA, as one should, is DNA.

For example, as said on May 22, 2008 in PJ Files Cartas Rogatorias Vol 8 Pages 5 - 7, 4 samples, 1, 4, 9 and 16, were sent by FSS to be tested against the UK National database - this contains DNA samples of anyone arrested for a recordable offence.

One of which we know is said to have had enough DNA found present to be testable and that it could be linked to crime stain 1: CG's stain 9.

Our good and helpful friend Insane was absolutely adamant: “There were no ''blood splatters'' recovered from apartment 5a”

And we’ve given Insane some reason. Let us remind you what we
did say in our Super-Kid post:

"To start with, Insane is somewhat right when s/he says “there were no
''blood splatters'' recovered from apartment 5a” but that is if you want to be
a hard purist bordering some sort of radical, or convenient, fundamentalism
about conclusions.

In fact, nowhere in the PJ Files' FSS' Final Report, does it explicitly say
that it was “blood” that was what was collected with the various swabs taken by
PJ’s LPC from the referred walls. And floor. And couch.

(...)

The FSS' Final Report was supposed to wrap up and conclude about all forensic data within the PJ Files.So although in the PJ Files the word "blood" does appear directly related with the DNA vestiges found in Apartment 5A, its conclusive forensic document doesn't mention it. But the FSS' Final Report also doesn’t say the stains found aren’t blood.

It simply doesn’t say what the stains are made of."

Attentive as always, Insane immediately replied with an assertive "The reason why the FSSdon't mention the so-called blood splatter swabs is because they didn't analyse them - that was your lot, the Portuguese forensic equivalent."

It seems like we're before a case of a fly repeatedly banging against a glass pane window, Insane being the fly and the PJ Files the window, as in its pages 3212 - 3213 it, once again contradicts Insane when it says the following about the diligence envolving the swab collection that took place in Apartment 5A (2):

"On 4 August 2007, at 15h00, a team from Sector de Local de Crime[SLC – Sector of Crime Scene] of the Laboratório de Polícia Centífica[LPC - Scientific Police Laboratory] made up by the signatories, went, at the request of PJ’s Departamento de Investigação Criminal[DIC – Criminal Investigation Department] ofPortimao, to a residence at Apartment 5A, Bloco A, of the touristic resort “Ocean Club” – Praia da Luz in Lagos with the purpose to proceed in collecting vestiges at the location.

According with the request of PJ’s DIC of Portimao criminal investigation elements (3) present at the location, the signatories should proceed to the visualization, by naked eye and by the use of a source of alternate light source with appropriate wavelengths appropriate to the effect, and to the collection of all stains (4) existing on the floor and on the wall of the living room near the location from where there were previously lifted and collected four floor tiles, and on the back of a blue fabric couch that was near that wall. We were informed by them that the referred collections should be done through swabs usually used the English Police (which were given to us by the referred elements) and thatit should not be used any of the indication tests that permit the identification of what type of vestiges that the referred stains could contain

According to the abovesaid it was also requested that the signatories were to contact a scientific advisor of English nationality, named Jonathan Smith, so that he would indicate the manner in which to proceed with the collection of the referred stains.In that contact the signatories were told that they should use in the collection of each stain two (2) swabs: being one applied directly on top of the stain, and the other previously moistened with distilled water and afterwards applied on top of the referred stain."

So we have Portuguese forensic crime scene experts, collecting vestiges from stains with British swabs, according to British collection techniques and under direct British mentoring and supervision so that the swabs were to be analyzed in a Portuguese lab?

LCN was the brainchild of the FSS. Insane doesn't seem to realise the role of Jonathan Smith from FSS and even if the Portuguese could carry out LCN at that time (2007) it was decided by the Decidersto use UK's FSS.

LPC collected the swabs and sent them off.

Besides, John Lowesigned and dated reports. He couldn't do that and make comments about giving evidence unless it was FSS work. One can't sign for the work of another country

It is a fact that it is Lowe who says he found enough DNA on stain 9 to compare with the bedcover and didn't find a mixed result.

So it seems the reason for the FSS not to mention the word "blood" in their Final Report lies not with the fact that they didn't do the scientific analytical work on the swabs

Insane remains coherent with "no blood splatters" by now using the doubt implying "so-called" when referring to blood splatter swabs.

For us, it seems that the initial "there were no
''blood splatters'' recovered from apartment
5a" is a definitive statement of a non-existence of something that now seems to exist with the statement "so-called blood splatter swabs is because they didn't analyse them"

But although Insane is a BH,s/he is just an individual. S/he's certainly not the Black Hat spokesperson. Not even Clarence Mitchell is that.

Our quest for truth is not a quarrel against individuals.

Fact is fact and we like, as you know, to stick to fact, and the fact is that the FFR doesn't mention blood.

But it's also a fact, as we've shown in this post, that DNA was found in the vast majority of the stains.

This begs the question: what kind of DNA was then sampled in
these stains?

If not blood, then what DNA are they made up of?

LCN DNA could be any body fluid, including blood, or skin
cells.

Not seeing skin cells being literally glued to a wall without
the help of some sort of body fluid, so logic dictates that the DNA found on
the vertical surfaces, such as the East and North walls, came, definitely, from some sort of human body fluid.

There are only so many body fluids that a human being can
leave sprinkled on a wall.

Wikipedia says that there we have 31 body fluids.
Honestly, never imagined there were so many.

To those certainly questioning why Cadaverine doesn’t appear
on the list, let us clarify that it is not a body fluid but “a foul-smelling
diamine compound produced by protein hydrolysis during putrefaction of animal
tissue”

Of the 31 mentioned body fluids, 13 have to be ruled out
as it would be impossible for them to be found on those walls.

You be the judge: Amniotic fluid,Aqueous humour and vitreous
humour (eye), Bile (produced in liver, stored in gallbladder), Chyle (small
intestine), Chyme (expelled by the stomach into the duodenum), Endolymph and
perilymph (inner ear), Gastric acid, Gastric juice, Lymph (lymphatic system), Pericardial
fluid (heart), Peritoneal fluid (covers most of the organs in the abdomen), Pleural
fluid (lungs) and Synovial (synovial
joint, most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal)

Of the remainder 18, 13 can also be taken off the list as
either by circumstance (very bizarre if they had been found), or by their consistency
and means of diffusion (both not consistent with the amount, the patterns
and the location of the various stains swabbed in Apartment 5A – please take
into account that, in theory, the apartment wasn’t meticulously cleaned so the
DNA found on those walls was all that was there to be found):

- Breast milk

- Female ejaculate

- Vaginal secretion

- Cerumen (earwax)

- Feces

- Sebum (skin oil)

- Pus (formed at the site of inflammation during infection)

- Rheum (eyes, nose or mouth during sleep)- Semen

- Sputum (mucus that is coughed up from the lower airways)

- Vomit

- Tears

- Urine

We’re left with 5.

- Nasal drainage (sneezing)

- Saliva (spitting)

- Sweat

- Blood serum

- Cerebrospinal fluid

Of these, the last two would only be present if an injury had
occurred and the last only if there was a severe and exposed injury to the back
of head or neck.

So basically we have the following 2 scenarios:

One, if the
samples can be explained to be coming from saliva, sweat or nasal drainage,
then all is explainable;

The other, if such an explanation cannot be found, then, by
exclusion of all remainder possibilities, the only explanation for DNA to be
found on those walls is that it could only have come from blood or cerebrospinal
fluid and that means there's a lot of explaning to be done.

And because BHs cannot explain the presence of blood or cerebrospinal
fluid in those stains, they simply cannot be either.

Let’s look at the stains and ask ourselves if it’s possible,
plausible, logical, reasonable, rational or realistic for them to be from saliva,
sweat or nasal drainage.

Let’s start to look at the NORTH wall where stains from 7 to
12 were found.

This particular corner of the living room was seen as so
insignificant that on the night of the events it went almost unnoticed.

On the photo portraying the panoramic view or the living room and
it doesn’t even appear on the right.

For the photographer what was, in our opinion, the most important area of the apartment, s/he thought not relevant enough to photograph.

Before you cast any stone, remember that at that moment s/he is photographing an abduction from that apartment and not a possible death in it

On the drawing up of the apartment layout it’s completely
disregarded, as you can see above.

This is the only photo we have of the NORTH wall taken that
night. One that is supposed to capture the sliding doors.

Now use your common sense and see under what circumstances (possible,
plausible, logical, reasonable, rational or realistic) would there be a spray
of such minuscule amounts of saliva, sweat or nasal discharge, or a combination
of them, as shown.

Don’t forget that, as we showed on our last post, there’s a
space of at least 70 cm between the couch and the North wall.

Now let’s look at the stains on the EAST wall: stains 4, 5,
6 and 13.

Do take into account that you’re not looking at stains found
on the couch that is aligned with the wall.

The stains are behind the couch, and behind the blue
curtains, and behind the white undercurtains.

They’re on the wall where they were found.

The only possibility for any of those stains to have resulted
on that wall where they were found, would be for the couch and curtains that
are seen in the pictures not to have been where they are.

Would that make it possible for the stains to be from saliva,
sweat or nasal discharge?

No. Under what possible, plausible, logical, reasonable, rational
or realistic circumstances would a human being deposit a minuscule amount of DNA from saliva, sweat or nasal drainage on stain 5’s
location?

Did one get one get on one’s fours and spit or sneeze only a
tiny amount a foot high from the ground?

And even so, why push away the couch and set aside the curtains and undercurtains?

We haven't mentioned sweat because we can't envision any scenario to justify sweat
there. If you have one, we’ll be glad to hear it.

To reinforce this idea we have the couch to confirm the
impossibility of the stains to be from saliva, sweat or nasal discharge.

Not even on all fours can one hit the location of stain 14.

One has to be literally lying down on the floor. See any possible scenario for
that to be? We don’t.

So, out of the 31 body fluids possible, we’re left with 2:
Blood serum and Cerebrospinal fluid.

Both involve physical injury and that will be a theme for a
future post

But it’s not only by the exclusion of fluids, ruling out those impossible to be present, that we can conclude that those stains are from blood.

We can start with the BHs saying so themselves.

Danny Collins in his Vanished book, published in May 2008 (at
the exact same time FSS was writing their final report) speaks about tiny amounts of blood being found in the apartment:

On pg 38: "An early result was the four minuscule drops of blood found on a mosaic tile in the apartment and located by the application of luminal and hydrogen peroxide and exposure to ultraviolet light. As explained elsewhere, the blood was eventually found to be that of a male and of such small quantity that it was hardly an indication of a crime having been committed."

On pg 89: "In early August 2007, the dramatically leaked news that traces of blood had been found in Madeleine's bedroom by British sniffer dogs flown in from the UK gave everyone pause for thought and coincided with a police plot fostered by Detective Chief Inspector Amaral to put pressure on the McCanns through the press.What was not made clear to the press was that the minuscule specks of blood found in the apartment were too degraded for intelligent analysis; the only result published from the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham was that the blood was from a male. In truth, this important forensic report of degradation and its relationship to Madeleine, when questioned by the more ethical members of the UK press, was denied. But blood was found in the missing child's bedroom and that was good enough from Portimao."

We could say that Mr Collins got his info from the press at the time.

The Guardian, on 7th August 2007 in Sandra Laville's article "UK lab to test blood found in Madeleine room" says:

"The
first task for scientists will be to try to get a DNA sample from the
blood, reported to have been found on a wall of the villa in Praia de la
Luz where the McCann family was staying.

If the scientists are
successful, the profile will be checked against the DNA of the missing
four-year-old and against the national DNA database, set up by the FSS.

(...)Leicestershire
police refused to comment yesterday on whether it was their officers
who discovered the blood smears. But reports from Portugal suggested
officers from the Leicestershire force used specialised equipment and
their own sniffer dogs to re-examine the two-bedroom apartment on the
Mark Warner holiday complex"

Also on The Telegraph, on 8th August 2007, by Richard Edwards article "Madeleine McCann: Blood found in bedroom" says:

"Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are carrying out tests on blood tracesfound inside her apartment bedroom, it has emerged. The dramatic discovery was made by British detectives brought in to launch a review of evidence, and led to renewed criticism of an "inept" Portuguese investigation.

The British team used specially-trained sniffer dogs and ultra-violet technology to scan for specks of blood inside the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz where Madeleine disappeared 96 days ago. Tests will now establish whether the traces are those of the four-year-old.

(...)

A Portuguese police source said: "If the results are positive, this will open up a completely new line of inquiry". The tiny traces of blood - invisible to the naked eye - were found at a low height on the wall in the bedroom of the McCann holiday apartment at the Ocean Club.

Specially trained cocker spaniel sniffer dogs, which are able to detect blood up to seven years old,located an area of the bedroom in which to search. The windows were blacked out using a tarpaulin and a specialist ultraviolet torch pinpointed the specks of blood."

The main difference between the media and Mr Collins' is that by his own written words, yet to be denied or targeted in any legal action, Clarence Mitchell
was duly informed of the contents of the book before its publication: "As a courtesy during the book's preparation, I informed Clarence Mitchell of its content and conclusions and he promised me to pass them on to the McCanns for comment".

So Mr Collins didn't just send the manuscript to Mr Mitchell. He got from him the PROMISE that it would be passed on to the McCanns. A rather intimate interaction between them, one would say.

Mr. Collins, as shown, speaks clearly, very clearly of
blood. No other body fluid.

And he does also speak of an "only result published from the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham".

One has to wonder where "this important forensic report" that Mr Collins mentions was published and where did he obtain his copy, as the FSS' Final Report was written in June 2008, AFTER his book's publication.

Another clear indication that the stains are blood is, as we all know, the dog trained to signal blood.
And the blood detecting dog did signal that particular corner of the living room.

Then we have the “butcher-and-the-meat”
principle.

Don't google it, we've just made it up. Before you think we’re going into anything complex, let us just say
that this principle simply states that a butcher knows his meat, as the
fishmonger knows his fish and the carpenter his wood.

At the Butcher I can, as I imagine you can too, differentiate, just by looking at the various pieces in front of me, the different types of meat. You know, to tell chicken from beef, beef from pork and pork from lamb.

But when it comes to differentiating between different types of
beef, say rump from sirloin, I trust the butcher. He’s the professional. I just ask,
he provides and I trust him as he’s the subject matter expert.

I don’t need him to show me the whole cow to appease my mind
that when I’ve asked for sirloin, I do get sirloin and not rump.

As we’ve shown, the LPC personnel were explicitly ordered "e que não deveriam ser utilizados quaisquer dos testes indicadores que permitem identificar que tipo de vestígios as referidas manchas poderiam conter" (which translates into: and that it should not be used any of the indication tests that permit the identification of what type of vestiges that the referred stains could contain) but, even so, they were able to slip in, even if not intentionally, that they were looking for traces of blood when LPC says: “procederam à recolha dos mosaicos onde os cães utilizados na diligência assinalaram a eventual existência de vestígios hemáticos" (which translates into: proceeded in the collection of the tiles where the dogs used in the diligence marked the eventual existence of haematic vestiges).

As always, we keep an open mind to any otherpossible,
plausible, logical, reasonable, rational or realistic suggestions of what these
stains can be other than blood.

No, saying "it's not blood because it's not blood and that's it!" is simply not good enough.

If it was blood, as we're sure it was, to whom did it belong to and what was it doing on the wall, floor and couch?

Apparently, we had back in September 2007 an explanation for the blood from the media:

"FLOOR

Police told Gerry McCann they found a trace of Madeleine’s blood on the floor under the sofa in the apartment.

Sinister explanation:

Her body was hidden under the sofa and later moved.

Innocent explanation:

After accidentally cutting herself, Madeleine crawled under the sofa while playing.

Alternatively, perhaps she took off a piece of clothing with blood on it and stuffed it out of the way under the furniture."

We simply couldn't make this up.

Post Scriptum: Insane, our "lot" has no nationality. Your xenophobic remarks are like a flies hitting a window glass pane while we're sipping our tea out in the porch. Where else did we use the fly/window analogy?

Footnotes:(1) This is what FSS has to say about stains 1 to 15:

286A/2007-CRL 1A & B Swabs collected from the floor of
the apartment

An incomplete DNA result, apparently originating from a male
individual but not matching any other profile obtained in this case, was
obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.

286A/2007-CRL 2A & B Swabs collected from the floor of
the apartment

A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two
people, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the
combined swabs. In my opinion, there are no indications that justify
[confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed
DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 3A& B Swabs collected from the floor of
the apartment

An incomplete and weak DNA result comprising only some
unconfirmed DNA components was obtained from the cellular material present in
the dry swab (3A). The attempt to obtain a result from any cellular material
that may have been in the same area and present in the wet swab (3B) was
unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained. These samples were submitted
for LCN tests.

An incomplete DNA result was obtained through LCN from
cellular material present in the swab (286A/2007 CRL 3A). The low-level DNA
result showed very meagre information indicating more than one person. Departing
from the principle that all confirmed DNA components within the scope of this
result originated from a single source, then these pointed to corresponding
components in the profile of Madeleine McCann; however, if the DNA within the
scope of this result originated from more than one person then the result could
be explained as being DNA originating from [a mixture of DNA from both] Kate
Healy and Gerald McCann, for example. DNA profiles established through LCN are
extremely sensitive; it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a
particular body fluid. nor to determine how or when that DNA was transferred to
that area.

A low-level DNA result was obtained through LCN from the
cellular material present in the swab (286A/2007 CRL 3B). In my opinion, there
are no indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of
the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 4A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

An incomplete DNA result, apparently originating from a
female individual, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present
in the combined swabs. In my opinion, there are no indications that justify
[confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed
DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 5A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two
persons, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the
combined swabs. In my opinion, there are no indications that justify
[confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed
DNA to this result. In my opinion, Fernando Viegas could have contributed DNA
to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 6A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

The DNA results obtained through LCN from cellular material
present in these combined swabs contained information too meagre to permit a
meaningful comparison.

286A/2007-CRL 7A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two persons, was
obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.
In my opinion, there are no indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory
that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 8A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

The DNA results obtained through LCN from cellular material
present in these combined swabs contained information too meagre to permit a
meaningful comparison.

286A/2007-CRL 9A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

An incomplete DNA result, apparently originating from a male
individual, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the
combined swabs. In my opinion, there are no indications that justify
[confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed
DNA to this result. Also, this result did not match in any way the profile
obtained from swabs 286A/2007 CRL 1A & B.

286A/2007-CRL 10A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two
persons, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the
combined swabs. In my opinion, there are no indications that justify
[confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed
DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 11A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

The attempt to obtain a DNA result through LCN from all and
any cellular material recovered from these combined swabs was unfruitful, given
that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good
quality DNA.

286A/2007-CRL 12A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two
persons, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the
combined swabs. In my opinion, there is no evidence that supports the theory
that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

286A/2007-CRL 13A & B Swabs collected from the wall of
the apartment

The attempt to obtain a DNA result through LCN from all and
any cellular material recovered from these combined swabs was unfruitful, given
that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good
quality DNA.

286A/2007-CRL 14A & B Swabs collected from the rear of
the sofa

Weak and incomplete DNA results consisting only of some
unconfirmed DNA components were obtained from the cellular material present in
these wet and dry swabs. In my opinion the results are not adequate for
comparison purposes. These samples were submitted for LCN analysis. / A mixed,
low-level DNA result was obtained through LCN from the cellular material
present in each of the swabs. In my opinion, there are no conclusive
indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the
McCann family had contributed DNA to these results.

286A/2007-CRL 15A & B Swabs collected from the rear of
the sofa

A weak and incomplete DNA result showing indications as
having come from more than one person was obtained from the cellular material
present in dry swab (15A) effected on the rear of the sofa. In my opinion the
result is not adequate for comparison purposes. These samples were submitted
for LCN analysis.

(3) The word "elementos" has been, in our opinion, wrongly translates into "officers" (elementos do DIC into DIC officers).

The Portuguese equivalent for "officer" is "oficial". When linked to people, it has but two meanings, very specific. The first, is a reference to highest ranking of the military or military-like organizations, The second is linked to to the Judicial System, the Oficial de Justica, a low-ranking person usually responsible to notify people about Court decisions.

In Portugal, when one is referring to a policeman, one says "agente da polícia" which translates to Police Agent.

The reference to "elementos" in this report means that the signatory met some PJ Agents at 5A who he doen't identify any further than being from PJ's DIC of Portimao.

(4) The word "mancha" is translated into stains and not spots or specks.

Welcome back Textusa,my brain is now in "overdrive"I,ve had to write down ,in simple English,my understanding of your brilliant observations of such a complex issue.Pity that sportbag "disappeared",what a Pandora,s Box that would have opened ,not forgetting the pink blanket!!

loved that i have read it 3 times now tell me tex IS it Madelienes blood or not please tex dont give me another riddle NOT THAT BRIGHT please in your oppinion is it Madeliens blood where do the 15 markers appear that they say is her blood please tell

This is very informative thank you for making it easier to understand.

@Lynn

Yes, this is a most complicated post to take in I agree.

As an aside, I keep thinking about a novel where you sometimes get a description, "I was swearing with fear" or "physical exertion" and "my mouth was open in the horror of it" and adrenalin was pumping through my body.

Putting the seriousness of the subject they're dealing with aside, reading Textusa and the Sisters is like reading a suspense novel from a boook that we don't know how thick it is that we don't know how many pages or chapters it has and we keep jumping with interest from subject to subject for years now!

The great effort that has been made in UK in order to keep media busy and printing news here and then about McCanns search, SY search, it's only to prevent PJ Files FSS's final report come to daylight.

A very basic example to understand why some strategies have to be followed: coca cola is a word wide top 1 drink. Why this brand build new campaigns so often if it is a sales leader? Because if it doesn't the new generation will drink pepsi.

Keeping the search Agenda is not a curse it is a inevitable strategy. They can delay the bad news to the UK public (they've been more or less succeed so far) but they cannot hold evidence to be known forever.

I think that the possibility of Madeleine had suffered a severe injury done by one member of the family has not being deeply investigated. In an older post of your's you gave Payne the bad role play but one has to wander if this was not a sudden domestic violent act done by one the parents or if an injury had occurred as a result of an unfortunate accident.

People tend to show compassion for the parents when they lost a child. It is almost an sacrilege thinking that a mother or a father may have done it in a moment of a rage. But as time went on when we look to this case in perspective you can find serious character flaws in McCanns attitudes. They're tough! And ruthless (McCanns versus Amaral trial is a very good example to see how far they can go...)

Assuming that an accident has occurred... this theory is a questionable dead end every time I think about it. Why would someone rather choose to hide a dead body with all the risks that this dangerous operation implies instead of assuming that a unfortunate accident had occurred and restrain the news about the accident "indoors" (as private as possible) using the diplomatic corridor and BH and WH help?

Finally the most pertinent doubt of all: when one decide concealing the body raises serious doubts regarding the circumstances in which the death had occurred.

In other hand assumed that an accident had occurred would be the best thing to be done for everyone specially for those that were involved in swinging adult activities that summer. Nobody would be questioned about what was doing when the accident happened because the issue would be kept "between UK walls".

Here the conclusions stop making sense to me ... excluding the possibility that the truth might be even nastier than one can imagine ... abduction would be the the last occurrence to choose wouldn't it? How can you explain the stains and all the findings in the apartment, with the supervision of the English police, expert english dogs etc etc...?

Anyone with 20 grams of honesty knows that the McCanns are hiding a big secret. Let us wait and see what the Portuguese Judges that sworn to defend the Constitution and the Law think about all of this. If the trial continues...

It literally only takes a moment for one to bring disaster upon oneself.

We have found absolutely nothing that could consubstentiate murder as the reason for her death and have, on the other hand, many reasons to believe, as we do and have clearly stated so many times, that it happened as a result of an unfortunate and momentaneous accident.

Why it was covered-up?

If the body presented, as we think it did, injuries not compatible with any possible household accident, then accountability for what had just happened would follow.

That accountability, even if the one responsible was ready to assume the act, could risk question raising as to under what circumstances it had happened and the answers to these could lead to other questions being asked and the result could be that what had happened only inside Apartment 5A could trickle to the circumstances outside the said apartment which was something that some present in the resort certainly weren't willing to take a risk of being known.

Yes, agree with you if the accident could be explained as an household one, then it would have been the best solution for all, including swingers.

The problem was that it couldn't.

These people outside Apartment 5A, or Guests, had nothing to do with the child's demise and so demanded not to be hindered in any way because of it.

We stronlgly advise the reading of our "Priorities" post.

To be very clear once again, we don't think Maddie was murdered but died in result of an accident.

If Maddie died in a result of an accident like in your theory "... David Payne must have slapped her hard enough to throw her off the couch and have her bang her head against the wall, dying instantly, or shortly thereafter..." it is MURDER (intentionally or not). At least was involuntary manslaughter because of the absence of intention. But it is criminally negligent manslaughter! And what makes you believe that was Payne and not the mother?

I become very sad every time we tend to minimize the attitudes of brutality against children, considering that a violent slap given to a child was a momentaneous lapse of reason, and that consequently her death was an accident. There we go again putting the rights of adults over the priorities and security of the children.

The rights of the children must always come ahead.

There was negligence because if a man and an woman were engaged in sexual activity in the apartment the children were safer and protected in the creche - an available service in the resort. A 3 years old child needs to be supervised. How is this possible if the mother is playing doctors?

Did not fail to notice that the man chosen to play during the afternoon was the only one among the group that was pointed by a witness as a man with suspicious behavior with the children (previous holidays...)

There is not a single innocent person here only persons of interest with different levels of responsibilities !!!

I agree with you when you say that "only takes a moment for one to bring disaster upon oneself" but one can always choose to do the RIGHT thing. What would happen to them? Nothing I tell you. Was an accident.

That's why I'm telling you there's more here than meets the eye...

Other pertinent fact is the short period of time 6:30 pm till 10 pm to compose the scene where the crime occurred.

Cleaning the apartment, rearrange the furniture, washing walls, washing the sofa, washing the curtains and get them dry till 10 pm. Not to mention to find a vehicle (sport bag or a golf bag) to carry the corpse out of the apartment, find supporters to the sordid mission, get a secure place to hide her, call England, sit down and establish a timeline for the evening events, call the media, call a lawyer, call home, call a priest... you know what I mean?

Why the PJ and G. Amaral never came up with the hypothesis of the presence of swinging activities inside the O. club...no one knows if they didn't, I'm pretty sure they did, they suspected/knew of thst practice, but, as Textusa answered, the investigation was swiftly smothered/indered/limited by heavy political and diplomatic pressure. However, what I do know, is that an ex-PJ inspector, a Mr. Barra da Costa, dared to mention it point-blank on a tv news (he has done some commenting on tv shows, namelly in TVI)and to a newspaper, Diário de Notícias, and got himself in big trouble. He made his allegation on RTP (portuguese public tv) and was forced to apologize live on the same tv channel, but note that he DID NOT retract the swinging allegations, he only apologized to the McCanns for offending them with his suggestion.There were, "once upon a time" videos available on Youtube with the RTP Telejornal of the 15th May 2007, when B.da Costa first came up with the swinging thing, but have been whooshed at some point...surprise, surprise!

( a swinging relationship is by nature promiscuous and attipical, and there can be an envolvement and crossing of relationships, which could lead to vengeance in the form of the disappearance of the child)

(could the children, because they're doctors' children, be under the effect of some substance which could facilitate/reinforce sleep?)

http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/press/7nov7/STAR-05-11-07.htm(snippet):"MADDIE MUM ORGY FURY'MADELEINE McCanns’ parents were seething last night after a top criminologist called for a probe into claims they were swingers.Former police inspector Jose Barra da Costa urged detectives to investigate rumours that the couple indulged in wife-swapping."

The stains were found due to the dogs and the dogs were trained to found "vestiges" of "human blood" and "cadaverine", ONLY. Mr. Amaral made this fact very clear in all his interviews.The dogs were announced at the time they arrived, as TOP CSI DOGS, trained under a SPECIAL PROGRAM, EVEN THEIR FOOD WAS SPECIAL TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE 100% of SUCCESS ON THE WORK THEY WERE TRAINED TO. The previuos achievements were impressive and in total sintony with the training program- they helped different polices to solve complicate cases because of their accurate and so well trained nose. Amazing the value of the dogs: millions of Pounds+ 5 stars insurance + first class flights+ top police to take care of them.TOO MUCH TO BE REDUCED OR IGNORED, AFTER MADELEINE. Only a very serious and very embarassing crime could force a country( UK) to behave so ridiculous after the action of that very special dogs.

From your brilliant work Textusa, i just can conclude " the FSS final Report was made , 'pret a porter', ignoring the samples and taking in attention that some stamps must be used: "mixed", "weak", "incomplete" to not dismiss the work of the dogs but make it inconclusive. Biology is a science, almost exact under it's evolution. The results of it's aplication are impressive and imprevisible. The FSS report, is a pile showing previsibility. Only a pre- made report can achieve that results. OR the crime scene was so manipulated that went into a deep cleaning before calling the police, to the point of damaging all evidences. That manipulation, if so, was not accidental and not related with the fluxe of people going in and out from the flat. Must have been done with some chemicals. Easy to find vestiges of that products, but the report says nothing about that. Then we must assume there was no chemicals interfering with stains. Statistic is another science and it tells me that the probability of analysing so many samples and get in all a non conclusive result, is so small that we can considere it ZERO.Another shame to UK.... Their top lab, fabricated a report to hide the real reasons behind a crime involving one british child. That' why was so suddenly, closed? The scandal could not be worse, if revealed. SY will jump to the moon to create several new 185 leads of investigation, to blind the public until we forgot the dog activities and the amazing FSS report. Up to now, it looks an almost impossible mission, since the public still passionate following all non official develops on Maddie case. Mccann's and their helpers were desperate to fade and erase from Internet, without explaining what was going on in PDL on Apri/ May and where went all the millions the public transfer to their account to search Madeleine. What a Karma......

I read somewhere that steam cleaning can remove almost anything. No need for chemicals if that is the case.Homeowners might have one, anyone else would need to hire one or hire a cleaner/s who used one for his/her/ their cleaning business.

The blog's tranlation of the posted by Anon at Sep 9, 2013, 3:48:00 PM (Swinging, part 2 and Swinging, part 3):

"My Dear Joao Manuel and companions, this issue is fully explained in my book "Maddie, Joana and Criminal Investigation», edited by Leya, Don Quixote, for some time now. So I won’t get too deep into the subject about her, which does not with mean less care.The issue caused a stir after I was approached as a commentator on a RTP1 Newscast (Telejornal), in the days that followed the disappearance of the English girl.A few hours before I had received information, which I judged as secure, from England, which spoke of that possibility. But more importantly, the same subject had been assured to me in a way that I found very credible, by an element of the criminal investigation, then working on the case in the Algarve.Until today I have never mentioned this "national origin" to the swinging question and kept myself waiting that the author, then my friend, would give his face to the authorship. He did not and I do not have that «art» of getting rid of friends, much less hang them professionally, in the public square. The attitudes remain with those who take them and that thing is called character.This is someone who could have done it already, it is true, because there was no lack of «friends» who took advantage of him and threw him into certain TV channels, to take advantage of him, giving him some visibility in morning and afternoon entertainment programs. And he wasn’t the only case.This appearance harmed him, as it turned out later when he wasn’t able to overcome the old question of «proved, liked» and transformed this problem into a 'psychiatric case', which, as you know, almost led him to jail.Let's be direct: there are phone-tapping recordings where this conversation is, and although they are illegal, these recordings may appear if such is justified.As for my apology on BBC1, it was treated almost live by the very human journalist who continued to address this issue in the Newscast. He was, moreover, against this apology. But I ended up doing it in a way that was distorted by «jealous» pet enemies that I cultivated. What I said was something like this (there are videos on this subject): "it seems that I threw here a punch into some people’s stomach when I spoke about the possibility of swing; now, it brings me no shame if I leave here an apology to help restore the state of normality among the affected participants". I didn’t say it was a lie, nor that it was true.

Later, a newspaper in which I had a page for two years, the 24Horas, wrote a snippet through which it again wanted to earn money at my expense, as besides being sensationalistic it was a lie, especially the title, which is what, at most, most people read. As is usual in me, I didn’t send a message by anyone and approached on that same day one of the authors of the piece of news in such a way that he never again wants to get closer to me than less than 10 kilometres.I also met later in a secret location with the girl's mother, during one of her re-visits to Portugal, and everything was clarified, because we agreed that television commentary is not to be confused with invention, moreover serious one. I have also been invited various times to go on TV to talk about this, but as I would have to «burn» the real author of this insinuation, I opted always to preserve him. It is not more than a position of principle. It would have been easier to shake it off away. But that is not my way of doing things…After that no one has ever heard me say anything more, like other big-mouths that have assured that the parents killed the girl, or that she was killed in that room of the resort. I have also never advocated that the wagging tail of a dog is more clarifying than criminal science, etc., etc... Or that it was good to enlist an interpreter when there were and are dozens of these professionals in the Police and even in the British Consulate in Portimão, interpreter who then, do notice this, was the first suspect; the same one that is suspect of having buried the girl in the Villa’s garden ... after having received a big compensation from several British newspapers that defamed him.And I would be here talking about lot of nonsense in terms of criminal investigation that had already been rehearsed in the «Joana case» and then prolonged in the «Casa Pia case», up until Rei Gob [Francisco Leitao or Rei Ghob (King Ghob) a convicted Potuguese criminal sentenced for killing 3 teenagers in his house which he built to look like a small castle] and others more. Why did this happen after a certain point in time?! That would be one more book. We will continue one of these days. Good night. Barra da Costa"

Two years ago a company of private detectives hired by the parents of the child who mysteriously disappeared in the Algarve, announced that the end of the drama was at hand. The child was about to be found and spend Christmas with her family. The desire of all those who wanted a happy ending was defrauded.

Today we discuss the opposition to an injunction that withdrew the fullness of freedom of expression fundamented on multiple stampedes on the truth. It is said in the injunction that a book written by me was to blame for the failure of the search for the missing child.

To Speak the truth would be to question the work of private detective firms, hired since the early days of the investigation, that could be considered disastrous.

To Speak the Truth mean to say that at the date of publication of the book, July 2008, the private detectives companies were already working on the case for many months.

To Speak the Truth would mean to say that at Christmas 2007 I was a policeman in service, calumniated and smeared by the support staff of the parents of missing child.

To Speak the Truth is to make clear that to restore the fullness of my freedom of expression I had to retire from the Judiciary Police, because only in that way I could defend myself.

mc, with her comment at Sep 10, 2013, 6:18:00 PM has provided an English translation for her comment in Portuguese at Sep 10, 2013, 6:19:00 PM

This is the blog's tranlation of the comment posted by mc at Sep 10, 2013, 6:21:00 PM:

"Thank you note4 Dec 2011Dear friends,

My name is Gonçalo Amaral. I was a Criminal Investigation coordinator and am the author of the book "Maddie, The Truth of the Lie", written with the intention of contributing to the discovery of the material truth and the achievement of justice, and with prospect of restoring my good name vilified in the public square .

This book was written in the full use of my rights, being a technical opinion and based on facts, clues and events contained in the process that supported the investigation of Madeleine McCann’s mysterious disappearance.

In September this year an injunction was filed, without prior hearing of the interested party, based on lies and abusive interpretations of intentions that were behind the creation of that work.

In order to hinder the defense of my rights it has also been brought an indemnization claim in the amount of 1.2 million Euros, followed by the arrest of rights and property.

The strategy of those who continue to tarnish us was simple: shut the man up man and the path will be open to influence attitudes and behaviors, through the manipulation of public opinion, at their own leisure. There is an ongoing campaign of discreditation and of misinformation, while at the same time strangle financially in order to win by bureaucracy (1).

We won’t conform to the limitation of our fundamental rights by unconstitutional court decisions that undermine the exercise of responsible freedom of speech.

I thank all those who over the past few years and have supported me and that is these last days have signed public petitions, as well as to those who through a financial effort to support the newly created fund through and through a show of solidarity reinforced my belief in defense of the values that should shape modern and democratic societies, freedom of speech, the discovery of the truth and the achievement of justice.

On my part I commit myself to embody the aspirations of all of you and to not give up, despite being at stake the survival of my own family; but the defense of those values and principles is essential.

To all, a heartfelt thanks.

Portimao, 2009-12-03

Gonçalo Amaral"

Footnote:

(1) The Portuguese expression “ganhar na secretaria” comes from “ganhar na secretaria o que não se consegue ganhar no campo” which translates literally into “to win in the office what one can't win on the field” and alludes to winning a game through the use of legal technicalities instead of on the field where it should be played and honestly won.

I am no fan of Barra da Costa, I too never liked his interventions on tv shows, he's the kind of person that talks a lot but says very little, he can go and on about a subject but never makes his point clear for everyone to understand, always quite enigmatic and vague, well, at least is what he sounds like to me, I can never make much sense out of what he says. He always comes through as someone who has a big axe to grind when it comes to the PJ...maybe something to do with his professional years inside the institution or the reasons / circumstances why he left it. The reason that made me mention Barra da Costa here is only the swinging subject, the fact that he came up with it, sort of an example that the possibility of a swinging event inside the Ocean Club was on some people's minds already back in May 2007, not just a figment of Textusa's mind, a wild and crazy theory, as many would like us to believe!Barra da Costa's source of information seemed to come from the UK (a blogger, I think, a "font Arial 12") and from someone inside the PJ. In Portugal we have a folks saying, "onde há fumo, há fogo" (where there's smoke there's a fire), if the subject of swinging come out, and precisely from someone in the UK, well, maybe there was a "fire" burning somewhere indeed...

Ex-Inspector lowers temperature but doesn’t withdraw allegation that the couple is swinger

Barra da Costa apologises live on RTP

Hugo Soares and Tiago Silva Ferreira

"My intent was not to bring a punch to the stomach, while I accept that it may have produced a wrong echo. The PJ had already stated that it was a sex crime and that was also a hypothesis that would have to be raised, as all others." It was like this that criminologist Barra da Costa justified his comment to RTP [‘Radio-Televisao Portuguesa’, Portuguese state TV station, Portugal's equivalent to BBC] and DN [newspaper ‘Diário de Notícias’], stating that the McCanns practiced swinging (couples who swap sexual partners among themselves).The declarations of Barra da Costa, a former PJ inspector, fell like a bomb within the McCann family, which, according to newspaper "Público" equates presenting a criminal complaint against RTP and the criminologist, him running the risk of paying a compensation to Maddie's parents.Barra da Costa explained yesterday to 24horas that nothing "moves him against the couple." The criminologist explained that he had "information in England and Portugal" and that by a sex crime being spoken of, "all hypothesis should be raised in order to dismantle what is at stake, even with that risk." Last night, in RTP, the criminologist lamented, but not denied, his statements about the couple’s "atypical sex". "I won’t be ashamed in being here, in ‘Telejornal’, to publicly apologise to the couple if that saves the situation."

“Swingers? That’s ridiculous”

In light of Barra da Costa’s statements, Jill Renwick, one of McCanns’ best friends, jumped in defense of the couple. "Swingers? That's ridiculous," said Jill, laughing it out, to 24horas. "With absolute certainty, no," she guranteed, still incredulous with the information relative to the couple, her friends, about them practicing couple-swapping sex."It’s a ridiculous idea. They are very attached to each other, and the love they feel is just for each other, "said Jill Renwick." We [Jill and her husband Andrew] are very good friends of them, and if that happened we’re absolutely sure that we would know."

I've just realized that I mistook RTP1 with BBC1 (don't know where that came from... it must be old age catching up faster than thought and desired...)in the blo's translation of (Swinging parts 2 and 3).

So where it reads:

"As for my apology on BBC1, it was treated almost live by the very human journalist who continued to address this issue in the Newscast. He was, moreover, against this apology. But I ended up doing it in a way that was distorted by «jealous» pet enemies that I cultivated. What I said was something like this (there are videos on this subject): "it seems that I threw here a punch into some people’s stomach when I spoke about the possibility of swing; now, it brings me no shame if I leave here an apology to help restore the state of normality among the affected participants". I didn’t say it was a lie, nor that it was true."

It should obviously read.

"As for my apology on RTP1, it was treated almost live by the very human journalist who continued to address this issue in 'Telejornal'. He was, moreover, against this apology. But I ended up doing it in a way that was distorted by «jealous» pet enemies that I cultivated.

I didn’t say it was a lie, nor that it was true."

So to make it perfectly clear, Barra da Costa DOESN'T SPEAK OF ANY APOLOGY ON BBC1. The apology was on RTP1.

On BBC, Barra da Costa appears, apparently as a side piece, on a BBC's Panorama program:

JOSE BARRA da COSTAFormer Policia JudiciariaThere are people who guarantee that this is a couple who practice 'swinging' - i.e. sexual relationships between couples and then changing partners, and that this practice would allow in this type of...

BILTON: When you say: "there are people who say..." I'm assuming you are quoting....

DA COSTA: People who know obviously. I cannot reveal the source here because I would lose it.

BILTON: The Portuguese police publicly disowned the allegation, also denied by the McCanns. But such stories are damaging. Then within weeks at a press conference in Germany, this question to the McCanns?"

BBC does warn upfront of the following:

NB: THIS TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A TRANSCRIPTION UNIT RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT: BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF MIS-HEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY, IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS ACCURACY.

How does Jill know what they do? I'm sure swinging couples can love each other deeply. I don't think Kate and Gerry do these days. I also think their relationship wore thin pretty quickly. 2 narcissists together won't work for long

" Many narcissistic power couples hate one another's guts. Behind closed doors they battle and bruise one another. When it's show time, they put on the elaborate make-up and costumes of their irresistible personas. They are masterful at interacting with people who are highly likely to be impressed with them, to the point of becoming followers and members of their many social/ business circles."

No information about it in Portuguese Court Agendas:http://www.citius.mj.pt/Portal/consultas/ConsultasAgenda.aspx

The whole things is odd.

Even if the hearing was in private what would be wrong with saying so and nothing else?

Could it be that it’s not a real court hearing but a meeting of both parties and their lawyers to try to settle out of court as the last attempt failed?

We’re not saying that the trial is happening or that it isn’t.

We know that Mr Amaral knows best on how to manage the way to proceed with his fight.

Many a ship in battle have used mist to their advantage.

Until we have more solid information, we see no reason to alter in any way our chartered course.

Interesting to note the first paragraph from The Telegraph:

“Mrs McCann's attendance in court is understood to be against the advice of Scotland Yard detectives who are attempting to launch their own investigation in the Algarve to try to solve the six-year mystery.”

Textusa,Just saw on Sky News Brubnt speaking in front of the Court Building in Lisbon, so I'm supposing things are happening.He said the trial hasn't started because lawyers are arguing before the Judge Amaral's defense's request not to have media present in the hearings so to preserve the memory of Maddie.Then it showed Kate arriving with Susan Hubbard, Dave Edgar and a woman I didn't recognize.After that Duarte appeared to say that it wasn't proved that Maddie was dead but it was proved how much Amaral earned with his book.When asked how much, she tried to say the amount but had some linguistics problem and then adviced the media to watch the trial.

OkayDave Edgar said to be appearing in court. Now that should be hilarious! The man who set up a PI business in the Welsh hills and never left there, who had a clear desk and an almost blank whiteboard and didn’t do any searching. Did he he harm the search by NOT searching? This is like an April Fools’ Day joke.

Strange that it is being reported that Kate is in Lisbon with her mother Susan Healy, who is a witness, but she was no where to be seen today! Even if she is not scheduled to testify today shouldn't she be there along her daughter to support her...? Isn't that what a dotting mother would do...? It is not like she's at the hotel babysitting the twins, Gerry's is minding them in "Rothley manor"! Maybe she didn't feel like getting up early...enjoying the mini-holiday in Lisbon, courtesy of the "Fund"...

Sofia de Landerset "Their lawyer Isabel Duarte is expected to set out the case - on behalf of Mrs McCann, her husband Gerry and their twins Sean and Amelie, now eight - at Lisbon's civil court." There is a name missing. Madeleine McCann is the 5th plaintiff.há 14 horas

This court has the opportunity to restore our fauth in the justice system. Sr Amaral has a right to his opinions and he can express them in his book or however else he wishes we live in a democratic society. Kate has presented the world with her literary piece of fairytale rubbish that was a crime in inself. The court should throw this case out its an utter disgrace that the Mccanns are allowed to silence the media, have no comments allowed on their online news articles, silenced Tont Bennett and now attempt to ruin Amaral. The judge needs to stand up to the Mccann PR machine enough is enough, I'm fed up with their lies and their manipulation they have never searched for their daughter only ever searched for more money, greedy vile pair should have been brought to justice years ago.Please dear God let this case be the unravelling of the Mccanns and we finally see this pair in court.Justice for Madeleine.

http://sicnoticias.sapo.pt/pais/2013/09/12/comeca-julgamento-casal-mccann-vs.-goncalo-amaralDuarte says that it's all about McCann's "personality rights" and other issues around the book....See the comments

So we have two suspects attempting to sue the police for £million claiming the book the chief investigative officer wrote about the case that he was very familiar with harmed the search for their daughter, when in fact the mother refused to answer 48 questions to help the police with the search. What a mad world we live in the Mccanns have spent the millions they took from the public for a search that never was now that money has gone they want more. Why does Kate need witnesses to speak on her behalf in court why can she not speak for herself and why is her husband not with her if this is so important for them. About time the truth came out and the Mccanns stopped hiding behind expensive lawyers that they can no longer afford. If the judge finds in Mccanns favour there is no justice and the system is corrupt because they are guilty, they know a great deal more than they claim and so do their friends they should all be fully investigated there are too many suspicious circumstances surrounding the parents and to hand them £million because they have complained about one individual is criminal. Amaral states what we all feel, the parents are involved are guilty they know exactly what happened to Madeleine and so do some of their tapas friends. Where comments are allowed they are all anti Mccann the public was taken in by them once but not again, and I hope the Judge sees common sense and is not taken in by them and their slick (expensive) PR team.

She was devasted by the book.... The book prevented the search of her daughter.....What a laugh that lady.... On the night her daughter disappear there was no book and she did not search her daughter. She choose the comfort of the flat instead of the darkness and the coldness of the night. Searching her daughter was/still a police duty. At my knowledge, no any police in the world was affected or prevented to do his job because of the book. Police searched all the corners, looked at every sight, even if it was ridiculous and impossible to be true.

What that bunch of parasites, including their lawyers want, it is only money. Dirty money coming from innocent people who had the unfortunate fate of crossing their lives with them one day. GA, like Maddie, are the victims. Kate has no shame of living under the umbrella of a dirty money. Easy, if the court has an idiot as a judge, who keeps that saga alive.Where are the witnesses of the day the girl disappeared? To prove that the police was wrong, they have to prove that their story was true and the abduction possible. Many experts from around the world, conclude the abduction was impossible. End of the game, Mrs Judge- they lie. Go back to May 3, 2007 and force them to do the reconstruction. 20 witnesses are enough to play the main role of the events, even if they don't experienced them live.

"(...)The brave mother will face fresh agony in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, where she is launching a court bid to silence her tormentor Goncalo Amaral over allegations he made about the fate of the youngster.

Former GP Kate and husband Gerry, both 45, are seeking £1million in damages from the former detective they say made their lives hell..."

"(...)They refuse to give up hope and have said a payout if they win the case will help fund the global search for Madeleine..."

Why are the Tapas friends not in court supporting Kate is it because they know its a well worn out lie and now she is playing the sympathy card taking the Priest's wife along with her using religion again,playing with emotions, trying to look the hard done by victim how disgusting these truly evil people are, they will go to all lengths to get more money, its been such easy money for them in the past. The judge should tell her if she so desperately wants £million then she should earn it, do the reconstruction, prove to us beyond doubt that there was an abductor make her and her husband and friends return to Portugal. Kate is so scared of entering the witness box she gets her friends (who were not there when Maddie disappeared)so speak on her behalf she does cowardly interviews outside court for maximum press coverage. This is all about money always has been. Amarals book did not stop Cameron giving millions to SY for a fruitless investigation. What about all the money the public gave in good faith. What about the internet tacking shop they set up. Or their social net working sites. Maddie has had more money and more people searching for her and more publicity that any other missing child in the world. The truth is Maddie is no more after all these years if she was still alive she would have been found. Now we want the truth from the money grabbing Mccanns about what really happened on that night. No more lies. If the judge feels like the rest of the world he should end this saga and request the case be reopened and dealt with properly no more media circus, let the police do there job and no more sob stories from the Mccanns, Madeleine is dead but we want to know how she died and who was involved and more importantly ...why. Stop throwing money at the Mccanns.

Sr Amaral's book was banned in UK the public have made their opinions of the Mccanns not based on his book but on how we perceive the parents, their arrogance, quest for donations and newspaper inches. Amarals book has not harmed the search his book was written years after Madeleine disappeared and was banned for another year. It's not a book I could walk into WH Smith and buy because no bookshop stocks it thanks to the Mccanns. Kate is so focused on litigation cases.The effort she has put into going to Portugal to sue Amaral and with her entourage of hangers-on, she never searched for Madeleine outside their apartment the night she disappeared because it was 'too dark' or answered the police questions but where there is money to be made you will find Kate and Gerry - greedy ruthless pair.

Public opinion of the Mccanns is toxic they have hit rock bottom and it is nothing to do with Amarals book. He is entitled to write a book he did it in his defence against the barrage of abuse he was receiving from camp mccann. Kates book was a no 1 best seller but still nobody believes her story. She should accept that we no longer believe her or her husband and they should be made to tell the truth.

Kate Mccann should have been called as a witness. Why are the Mccanns allowed such freedom they and their friends refused to take part in a reconstruction so no reconstruction took place. They would appear to pick and choose who they sue. This is all about revenge and money nothing to do with Madeleine. I just pray this judge is not taken in by the Mccanns like so many others have been. The Mccanns have made fools of so many high ranking people including Cameron and Theresa May in their search for money and publicity. Do they expect us to believe that by throwing more money at the Mccanns this search is going to find an alive Madeleine, of course it is not. Put money into investigating those involved and getting to the bottom of it. What about the DNA that never gets mentioned, or the sniffer dogs. They were made suspects long before Amarals book was released,and people had already formed their opinions of the Mcscammers.

MESSAGE to NEWCOMERS

This blog believes that concerning the MADDIE McCANN case the following happened:

- Maddie McCanndied in the early evening of May 3rd, 2007, in the Apartment 5A. We believe the death to have been accidental.

- At the time of Maddie's death the Praia da Luz's Ocean Club was hosting a large swinging holiday in which the McCanns and friends were part of among many others.

- After Maddie's death a cover-up of unseen proportions and scope took place not to hide Maddie's death but with the main purpose of hiding the presence of swinging. To achieve that, Maddie's death had to be hidden.

- We don't believe there was any sort of negligence involved in the Maddie affair. We don't believe that T9 dined at Tapas Bar from Sunday to Wednesday. We think that on those nights they left their children with professional nannies - as did other guests - to go dine downtown PdL. On Thursday night they did use Tapas but that was simply part of what was to be "negligence"that was required to allow Maddie to be "abducted."

TRUTH is Self-Sustained

Think for yourself

Luz - THE VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED

PdL - What a place. Why does anyone holiday there?It's populated by black heroin addicts, people who rob apartments, gypsies who steal scrap and wood, scruffy moustachioed lurers of children, bogus charity collectors, suspicious street musicians, men lurking near phone booths, glasses man lurking in stairwells, blond men suspiciously lurking outside apartments, soothing couples entering apartments without permission, mysterious gangs of cleaners, men taking photographs of children on beaches... And to top it all, you have to queue for a table booking.Anonymous 11Nov 2013 12:22:00

Maybe because you can always enjoy an ice-cream in the rain?And a dip in an icy pool on arrival always attracts a crowd.Textusa 11Nov 2013 12:28:00

I like the Tapas fragile chairs and tables. They wobble nicely when cutting thick grilled steaks spilling the drinks all about! It's fun for the whole family!Anonymous 11Nov 2013 13:08:00

And how about the number of men seen carrying little blond girls in the street in the middle of the night?Anonymous 11Nov 2013 14:04:00

PdL - where families take it in turn to vomit each night, dog packs pursue and bite joggers, guests fall off catamarans, damage tendons playing tennis, have shaving accidents and stagger around apartments bleeding, domestic appliances need repair, shutters jam, baby monitors won't function at restaurants, travel cots can't be assembled.. sounds like THE VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED.Anonymous 12 Nov 2013 12:37:00

Child Catcher

Algarve - THE REGION OF THE DAMNED

“Algarve – Where Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’s Child Catcher found it ideal to roam the streets with his GYPSY-wagon:“There are children here somewhere. I can smell them. Come along, kiddie-winkies!”Algarve, the REGION OF THE DAMNED.”

Please Reconstruct I:

PJ's Declaration for Reopening Process:

"Madeleine McCann

As is the case with any situation in which a child goes missing, notwithstanding formal dismissal of the inquiry into her disappearance, and just as has always been publicly stated, the Polícia Judiciária never stopped paying close attention to any and all information that might possibly shed light on the whereabouts of the minor Madeleine McCann, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and the identity of the perpetrator(s).

It was with this goal in mind that in March 2011 the National Director of the Polícia Judiciária entrusted a team of investigators from the North Directorate with the mission of reassessing, as a whole, the vast amount of information gathered during the inquiry, aimed at identifying data for which a more in-depth investigation might be useful and possible.

The reassessment which took place over the last two years and a half suggested new evidence to have surfaced, which, requiring the investigation to proceed, meets the requirements set out by section 279(1) of the Portuguese Code of Criminal Procedure for reopening of the inquiry.

Accordingly, a request for reopening was made to the Public Prosecutor for the jurisdiction of Portimao, and approval granted by the latter. "

Revelations

"For the righteous, a revelation is a joyous event, the realization of a divine truth but for the wicked, revelations can be far more terrifying, when dark secrets are exposed and sinners are punished for their trespasses." Quote from the TV Series "Revenge" (T2 - Ep9)

Truth

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.Arthur Schopenhauer

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.Winston Churchill

The Revolution

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.George Orwell

The Revolution Goes Viral

"Once information networks become social, the implications are massive: truth can now travel faster than lies, and all propaganda becomes instantly flammable. Sure, you can try to insert spin, but the instantly networked consciousness of millions of people will set it right: they act like white blood cells against infection so that ultimately the truth, or something close to it, persists much longer than disinformation"The Guardian (04Jan12)

We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts Winston Churchill

PRECIOUS, SO TRUE, WORDS

“One coincidence, two coincidences – maybe they’re still coincidences. Any more than that and it stops being coincidence.”

Kate McCann

(in MADELEINE, by Kate McCann, published in 2011 by Bantam Press, pg. 328)

Imagine...

"This says it all, Ms Loach hit the nail on the head!

"Ms Loach replied: “Imagine the public believing that you covered up your child’s death and then sought to make money out of it. They feel shame, humiliation and anguish."

Yes, that's exactly what we, the public, believe, because that's exactly what they did! And, their "shame, humiliation and anguish" are because they know we know!"

Sound Explanation for Viciousness

Compliments from the Maggots' Lair:

- “…all the others pale into insignificance when compared to textusa.”

- “I think she should be on the streets and off the internet"

Chinagirl):

- “Disgusting piece of slime.”

(Raptor):

- “Yikes ! That's disgusting.”

(preciousramotswe):

- “You are right. It's a shambolic mess of vitriol and obtuseness. But then they always are. The one that some claimed finally 'proved' who was carrying who during the Smith sighting is a masterpiece of deliberately confused arguments in which labrynthine plots are used to cover how empty the central thesis is”

Out of the Blue (or... Black?)

Hey textusa How are you? well I hope,just thought I would tell you that there are videos about you on youtube, claiming you are an internet predator who stole her daughters identity and prowls the forums for young boys, they say you are welsh!! I think its a case of mistaken identity because are you not portuguese and male? Anyway great blog. keep it up.(Anon., Nov 13th, 05:43)

Conversation from the "Lightless Zone"

sabot:

“Wot Round Table?”

bonnybraes1:

“He/she/it invented a barking mad 'theory' about no-one actually having eaten in the Tapas, because he/she/it couldn't grasp the table arrangements.”

So, because textusa doesn't understand stuff like that, all the Tapas group, the staff, everyone, were lying.

OMG - you don't suppose textusa is actually Gonc, do you?”

sansouci:“Could be Bonny.

The 'theories' about the table and the watersports are really so far beyond bizarre, that I get the feeling that 'textusa' could actually be 'pisstaka'.”

“…How would any of you idiots like it if your name came into the public domain because you were witness to a crime, and some mad bitch set up a site in which she called you a liar, and claimed you were actually involved in the crime you witnessed? Just ponder on that for a moment”

Aug 28, 2011 9:27:00 AM

“…Where is your sense of shame or decency in accusing innocent witnesses of being involved in covering up the death of a child?

I see no shame or decency on here - just an utter indifference to the rights or feelings of others.

I notice no-one had the balls to answer my question about how you would feel if this was done to you - if you were a witness to a crime and some deranged cow on the internet accused you of being involved. You are all a complete disgrace.”

Oh look here - amazing what one can find out by means of a couple of emails to Mark Warner.

You are toast, lady. Finished.

I am going to enjoy this more than is actually decent.

Textusa (Nov 15, 2012 8:50:00 AM):

Well it seems that you're quite privy with the Ocean Club aren't you?

Them giving YOU the information about their own mails?

And you threatening us based on information that YOU apparently got from the Ocean Club.

That's really interesting, isn't it?

Insane (Nov 15, 2012 10:47:00 PM):

One thing I really like about Mark Warner is how helpful their staff are. Really go the extra mile for someone needing information. IYKWIM

Textusa (Nov 16, 2012 11:17:00 AM):

Thank you for confirming that Mark Warner Staff are supplying YOU with information pertaining the Maddie Affair.

“It would be more suspicious if every account tallied. Police expect to find contradictions, don't tell me you did not know this?” (Nov 22, 2012 3:38:00 PM), when providing an opinion on contradictions from various statements in the PJ Files.

“I don't give a rat's arse about the statements which tally too closely - of course some of them tally too closely, there is an in depth analysis of them on my blog, the one you are not invited to.” (Nov 22, 2012 4:08:00 PM), when, exactly 30 minutes later, provides an opposite opinion, in this case about the fact that some of Tapas' Staff's statements tally too closely.
